Marmoleum Cocoa embraces our ethos of sustainable design with its combination of circularity and beauty.

Marmoleum Cocoa floors are developed and manufactured to be recycled and reused while preventing and sequestering carbon emissions.

By adding cocoa shells to the traditional Marmoleum ingredients we have created an exciting surface texture that is both natural looking and contemporary in feel. Marmoleum Cocoa floors combine the liveliness of cocoa husks with the calmness of mineral tones.
A timeless floor that fits everywhere.

All Marmoleum Solid colors can be ordered in a 3.5 mm Marmoleum Decibel construction.

    Marmoleum: eco-friendly floor

    With Marmoleum, you choose a sustainable floor that is climate positive (cradle to gate). From the origins to the final product, without buying carbon credits.

    The construction industry is one of the major contributors of carbon emissions that cause climate change. Therefore, we are looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint to combat global warming. The use of environmentally friendly building materials is becoming increasingly important when designing a new construction project.

    Forbo aims to contribute to solving climate change issues by developing environmentally friendly flooring solutions.
    Our Marmoleum floors are made from 98% natural raw materials such as linseed oil, wood flour, limestone, resin and jute. Marmoleum is unique as it has CO2 uptake in the product itself. The photosynthesis of the biobased materials used in Marmoleum provides CO2 uptake that exceeds the CO2 emissions caused by transportation and production processing. Therefore, Marmoleum is climate positive (or carbon negative) from cradle to gate.

    Forbo uses Life Cycle Assessments to identify and continuously improve the sustainability performance of our floors. Our independently verified Environmental Product Declarations provide the information you need to make a sustainable decision. Read more about LCA and EPD.

    Well-being

    Well-being starts here

    We made it our mission to design and offer products that contribute in a positive way to the health and comfort of the individual by bringing nature in.

    In a world where we spend on average 85% of our time indoors, it only feels natural to give full focus on improving the quality of our indoor environment. Marmoleum fits into biophilia designs for schools, healthcare institutions, workplaces, leisure centers and living spaces by creating the opportunity to bring the best from nature to our indoor surroundings.

    Marmoleum contributes to each and everyone's well-being on many levels. Marmoleum is designed to contribute to a safe, hygienic and comfortable environment. The floors are easy to clean, bacteriostatic, have antiviral properties and are allergy approved. Its tactility and beautiful colors influence all your senses. Thanks to its biobased raw materials and continuous life cycle improvements, we are able to create a climate positive floor that contributes to a sustainable future. Marmoleum floors improve the environmental and well-being score in building rating schemes such as LEED, BREEAM and the Well building standard.

    Using the right furniture leg protection for tables and chairs will safeguard your floor at all times. Applying protection to the base of your furniture will help keep the new appearance of your floor for longer.

    Cleaning and maintenance
    When you take care of your floor and clean it when necessary, it will stay beautiful for longer without the need of a wax or polymer. Proper cleaning & maintenance will save time and money.

    About Cocoa

    A natural innovation

    The Dutch region ‘De Zaanstreek’ - the region where our Marmoleum factory is located - is an area where a lot of cocoa is being produced and processed. This gave us the inspiration for our Cocoa floor covering: a combination of our sustainable Marmoleum flooring mixed with cocoa husks.

    Marmoleum Cocoa embraces our ethos of sustainable design and truly is a unique addition to our linoleum flooring. The tough cocoa husks are the rest product of cocoa production. We collect them and grind them finely and spread them onto the Marmoleum. The Cocoa husks itself have facets of different colors and give the floor a unique granular look & feel.

    Marmoleum Cocoa floors are developed and manufactured to be recycled and reused while preventing and sequestering carbon emissions.
